Game Recap
Milwaukee pulled away to a 134-123 victory over Indiana, completing a comeback from a slow start with a dominant third quarter that broke open what had been a closely contested affair. The combined 257 points soared well past the market total of 227.5, a 29.5-point overage that left DAGGER's pregame under call in the dust.
The first half stayed relatively contained at 127 combined points, with Indiana's 34-point opening quarter matching Milwaukee's 26—a sign the Pacers meant to set an early tone. But the Bucks steadied themselves in Q2 (36 points) while Indiana managed only 31, and the momentum shifted decisively in the third, when the teams combined for 71 points, the game's highest-scoring quarter. Milwaukee's 40-point explosion in Q3 proved decisive, as the Pacers could muster just 31 in the same span. Indiana's Aaron Nesmith led the way with 32 points, while Jay Huff added 16 and Jarace Walker contributed 14 points and 8 rebounds. For Milwaukee, Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 31 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Bobby Portis Jr. chipped in 29 points and 10 boards. The fourth quarter cooled considerably at 59 combined points, but the damage was done. Milwaukee's recent form—allowing 119.4 points per game—proved vulnerable against Indiana's 110.3-point average, yet the Bucks' offense (102.9 ppg) found enough in this matchup to secure the win.
